Thorn's Journey
Thorn loves working with math/science professionals, and considers himself an engineer-at-heart and technology enthusiast. He is adept at using his analytical skills to help people save money more efficiently along their financial journey.
Thorn earned his degree in Chemical Engineering from Colorado School of Mines (CSM) in 2011. During his time at CSM he completed a rigorous academic workload, while also acting and singing in Mines Little Theatre, and several a cappella groups, and participating heavily in Greek Life, where he eventually became the President of Phi Gamma Delta. Midway through his journey at CSM, he was given the opportunity to intern with NM, where he began to hone his expertise and passion for the industry.
Now, with over 14 years of experience in the field, Thorn proudly serves hundreds of clients across over 40 states. His dedication and excellence have been recognized with the NM Life Impact Award, and he has had the opportunity to speak and collaborate with advisors across the country.
Thorn's commitment to providing top tier expertise and guidance to his clients lead to him acquiring the Certified Financial Planner (CFP ®) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC ®) designations. Beyond increasing mastery, he values Honesty, Kindness and Courage to Confront in his personal and professional relationships. Thorn is also passionate about keeping up with scientific advancements, which his clients often have a direct hand in driving forward.
Since 2018, Thorn has embraced the ability to host meetings remotely, allowing him to be a resource to businesses and families across the US. He currently resides in Lone Tree, CO, with his wonderful wife Chelsey and their three amazing children, Xavior, Aribella, and Vincent.
Outside of his professional pursuits, Thorn loves playing and designing board games, Dungeons & Dragons, and video games.

Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
